Re: Essential items to pack for Atlanta?

REALLY ESSENTIAL:
--Your spirit
--Your "street smarts"
--Your gracious professionalism representing your school & sponsor
--Your team "buddy" at all times

PRETTY IMPORTANT:
--duh, your robot
--duh, extra batteries. That's a crying shame when your robot runs out of juice (bring along 8 jigawatts worth.....)
--duh, your knee pads to grovel when borrowing parts and tools from other teams since you forgot everything at home
--clothing; like lots of layers since it could be 30-80 degrees (F that is)
--safety-consciousness all the way around (not just in the pits)

SOMEWHAT IMPORTANT:
--your toothbrush

FOR EVERYTHING ELSE:
--there's begging and borrowing
or mastercard!
